Which sex wants intercourse more, male or female?

Asked by Hoare (11points) September 9th, 2008

Who wants sex more? and does pleasure have anything to do with it? or is it just the constant stereotypical guys NEED sex more than girls?

dear “hoare” since i do not know where you are located, it is hard for me to answer this question. since i believe that this is cultural based too. women and men deffinetly both enjoy sexual intercourse, yet i believe that males are more open towards the topic.

remeber one can also be addicted to sex.

Girls want it just as much as guys. They just pretend they don’t. This way they can control men….

and then the world.

Females ALREADY control the world.

They use their vaginas to accomplish that, and they do it very well.

Hermaphrodites usually want sex more than males or females. Eunuchs also have a superior sex drive.

I now have an idea for a new, publicly-posted question…

From my experience, once people are in an established relationship, the female typically wants to have sex slightly more frequently than the male. In all honesty, I think this may be nothing more than the fact that it doesn’t (usually) require as much effort on her part.

Men WANT it more.

Women USE it more to their advantage…..girls, isn’t if fun having this POWER??? ;)

Where were YOU, when I was a kid with high school hormones, and wanted to get laid every hour?

Any more at home like you?

I’m with Jack. Hell. At 50, I’m still with Jack.

@daloon: Are you suggesting we share her?

One girl, two straws?

Between the two of us (I’m 58) we are over 100 years old! (That’s just to much to ask of any one girl, even with two straws.)

wundayatta's avatar

No, not sharing. I don’t do that. I was just imagining there might be, as you put it, “more at home like” her.

You know. In the fantasy world that the Internet facilitates. Reality is never quite the way you thought it would be.

I think it depends largely on the attractiveness and attractedness of the individuals involved.

People enter into relationships for different reasons. If one party values physical beauty more than the other, there may be an imbalance in sexual desire. While the stereotype is that men are shallower and women are more willing to look under the skin, this is certainly not the case for all.

I also think sexual ability plays a large role. If one party is much more experienced than the other, they will probably be less interested in sex with their relatively inexperienced partner.

This question is much too general to form any conclusions but joking ones. I think a bigger factor than gender is age. And inexperience does not equate with level of desire, in my experience or that of my children.

In a long-term, happy and monogamous relationship, the sex is not one-sided, but desire does vary in each partner. They make accomodations, happily.

As Gail said, there are many factors to consider. If I had to make a generalization, I would say that women want sex more than western society gives them credit for (i.e. women are sexual beings, too), but I do think that men have somewhat of an edge when it comes to how frequently they want it.

I have met lots of guys that want it every day, not as many women who are the same.

I think this question should really be deferred to David Duchovny

Its pretty much all guys think about and I don’t believe that’s true for women.

tinyfaery's avatar

First I want to say that I do not use sex for anything, especially a bargaining tool.

Needing/wanting/thinking about sex is not the same as doing something about it. I think men are more aggressive when it comes to satiating the desire. But who’s to say which sex (not gender) wants it more. Women might want it just as much as men, but don’t always feel the need to do anything about it. It is just a feeling after all; we don’t always have to react to them.

@Xraygirl—I pity the man who falls in love with you. A woman using sex as a weapon/bargaining tool is similar to a man using emotional intimacy as such. Selfish.

JackAdams's avatar

If XrayGirl doesn’t have a date for this weekend, I bet I know WHY

(joking)

@gail: In reference to the first answer, above…is “deffinetly” a new one for your collection, or a repeat?

@poser:

I’m happily married and madly in love with my husband….I never said I used sex as a bargaining tool or weapon, but the fact that I have that power is kinda fun sometimes, especially when some pitiful sap trips over his tongue while trying to sell me medical equipment at work….I would be lying if I said I didn’t get a kick out of having such power over a man.

Poser's avatar

Yeah, I get the same feeling when some chick is begging me for it.

gailcalled's avatar

Aug: I missed that. And I thought we had seen every variation possible. Thank you for being alert, as usual. G

see…? kinda fun, huh?

Hoare's avatar

haha thanks all for the response! i think in conclusion i suppose we all want it the same!? thats cool, and it makes sense, i mean if woman didnt want sex or if man didnt want sex where would we be today?

Gbach's avatar

@hoare in a giant world of rape i guess? but arent we in that anyways? i guess there are just too many people afraid of aproaching the other sex

Poser's avatar

@Xray—I was being facetious.

Poser….duh??? that is hilarious.
